ORLANDO, Fla. —

Orlando police on Thursday released helicopter video showing their arrest of suspected cop killer Markeith Loyd, who was arrested Tuesday in an abandoned house in the city.

Loyd faces five charges related to the death of Dixon. He is also charged in connection with the death of Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton, who authorities say he shot and killed at Walmart Jan. 9. Loyd is charged with murder of a law enforcement officer, attempted first-degree murder with a firearm of a law enforcement officer, armed carjacking, wearing a bulletproof vest while committing a felony and aggravated assault.
